IMHO is the easiest way to get strong electro-magnets to disassemble 6V relays. They include good electro-magnets. I did so and was able to hold a 500g hammer with two of them running at 6V.

What is your plan for the electromagnets? If you can not find them, they are simple to make yourself out of fine insulated (varnished) copper wire.

Thanks again Dave. As it turns out, nqc on Mac OS X expects a firmware file with UNIX line endings. BBEdit Lite 6.1 for OS X did the job just fine. After saving with UNIX line endings, nqc was able to download the firmware. B. (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)
